No matter how profound or how seemingly mundane, the good we experience comes from the mind and intentionality of a good God.”

Quote of the Day ~ The Changes We’ve Made
First dentistry was painless;
Then bicycles were chainless
And carriages were horseless
And may laws, enforceless.
Next, cookery was fireless,
Telegraphy was wireless,
Cigars were nicotineless
And coffee, caffeineless.
Soon oranges were seedless,
The putting green was weedless,
The college boy hatless,
The proper diet, fatless.
Now motor roads are dustless,
The latest steel is rustless,
Our tennis courts are sodless,
Our new religions, godless.
Aurthur Guiterman, Gaily the Troubadour, 1936.
Quote of the Day ~ What Rankles Us and Makes Us Howl by R. C. Sproul
“Somehow we don’t mind the exception of the Cross. It is the Fall that rankles us. We don’t mind having our guilt transferred to Jesus or having his righteousness transferred to us; it is having the guilt of Adam transferred to us that makes us howl.”
– R. C. Sproul, Chosen by God
Quote of the Day ~ Prerequisite for coming to Christ by R. C. Sproul
“Admitting our fallenness is a prerequisite for coming to Christ.”
– R. C. Sproul, Chosen by God
Quote of the Day ~ The Job Description of the Redeemed by Jay Adams
It is now the task of the redeemed people of God to “make known” God’s wisdom to all creation.
– Jay Adams, The Grand Demonstration
(This is a hard book to find but is a great one if you struggle with the issue of how evil and sin came about in light of a perfect God.)
Quote of the Day ~ God is Not God if God is not Sovereign by R. C. Sproul
“Everything that happens must at least happen by his permission. If he permits something, then he must decide to allow it. If he decides to allow something, then in a sense he is foreordaining it. Who, among Christians, would argue that God could not stop something in this world from happening? If God so desires, he has the power to stop the whole world. To say that God foreordains all that comes to pass is simply to say that God is sovereign over his entire creation. If something could come to pass apart from his sovereign permission, then that which came to pass would frustrate his sovereignty. If God refused to permit something to happen and it happened anyway, then whatever caused it to happen would have more authority and power than God himself. If there is any part of creation outside of Gods sovereignty, then God is simply not sovereign. If God is not sovereign, then God is not God.”

Quote of the Day ~ The Attempted Robbery of God by Jay Adams
Jay Adams book “The Grand Demonstration” he states “Speculation about the ways of God that He has not revealed to us is wrong. To do it is attempted robbery. If, as He says, unrevealed truths about Himself and His purposes “belong” to Him, and not to us, the attempt to pry those secrets from His hand by means of human reasoning is nothing less than attempted theft.”
Quote of the Day ~ R.C. Sproul on Prayer
“Prayer does change things, all kinds of things. But the most important thing it changes is us. As we engage in this communion with God more deeply and come to know the One with whom we are speaking more intimately, that growing knowledge of God reveals to us all the more brilliantly who we are and our need to change in conformity to Him. Prayer changes us profoundly.”
― R.C. Sproul, The Prayer of the Lord
Quote of the Day ~ Dr. Mike Fabarez on Mercy
“The Bible presents Christ & his salvation as a mercifully provided portal to escape the impending consequences of sin.”
– Mike Fabarez
Quote of the Day ~ R.C. Sproul on Foolishness
“As the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, so the denial of God is the height of foolishness.”
― R.C. Sproul, Essential Truths of the Christian Faith
